Librarians of today must engage and connect more deeply with their communities. Now more than ever, both parties are dependent on one another to be able to survive in a difficult economy. We must actively connect, consult, and collaborate with members of the community in order to build and strengthen those relationships.

Preregistration is required and can be done through this link. If you are not able to make the live webcast of Connecting Community: Why a library’s public is an essential component to its survival, register now and you will get an email notification from Library Journal after the event when the webcast is archived and available for viewing at your convenience.
